august bold intentions.

Nothing says "getting back into blogging" like writing down and sharing some goals for the month. Today marks six weeks since Ellerie was born. I have heard many times that six weeks post-baby is when things start to feel normal again and am so glad that seems to be true. I have found my groove. It's a new groove, for sure, but it's working for all of us.

I have the all clear to exercise again and to say I have been looking forward to it is an understatement. I have been having dreams about running for months. Now I just need to figure out where in my days I can carve out the time to slowly get back into it. (I cannot wait until Ellerie is big enough for our jogging stroller.)

The "big art" plan is something I have been thinking about all summer. I am excited to play with paint again. And I have already been working on the self-portrait challenge. Just for fun photo adventures like this one feel like a good way to ease back into a creative life.

ps. thank you so much for your comments, encouragement & suggestions yesterday!

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2019, I have started sharing more here on occasion. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.
